Migration of Folder & sub-folder/files Permissions Issues

[Gregory Swan]

Hello,

Im currently migrating a folder from a Users My Drive to a Shared Drive.  Unfortunately it seems the user is not the owner of all of the files.  Im seeing quite a bit of the following errors:

1. Permission: noninherited/reader/domain/02250f4o15ef49q.audience.googledomains.com, Copy Failed: Cannot modify a permission on an item to be less than the inherited access from a direct or indirect parent.
2. Move Failed: The domain administrator has not allowed writers to move items into a shared drive.

With regards to error 1, I'm unsure of that impact or the reason for this.

I understand the source of error 2.  I was hoping that I could change the setting in Google Workspaces to allow editors to move the files.  My question for the group is, can I merge the files while maintaining the folder structure from the My Drive into the Shared Drive?  

I was caught off-guard how large this folder was and am not concerned the cleanup effort is going to be fairly large now that files are going to be spread about the two directories.

Any recommendations the group has would be welcomed.

I have run into the same issue.

With #1, I have found that it is usually someone that has set the "General Access" to the domain with edit access.  Then have a permission assigned to someone inside the domain with less than that.  If I set the General Access to "Restricted" it can then move the file.
With #2, I have a role that I assign to users doing a migration that allows them to move files/folders into shared drives, if they have edit access.  However, GAM does not recognize this role.  It just looks at the domain setting for allowing users to move files they don't own into shared drives and doesn't do the move.
